I like this presents, keep doing like this more.
In the faith oriented religious context cannot be admit the co-existence of other religions. There we need at the inter faith religious activities. Nowadays in India we are facing this exclusiveness very madly. But India have a rich tradition of wide acceptance other religions. The coxistence of others is only a matter of mirror activism. If we don't have the mirror, we will lose our face. That's all.

True

Religious Pluralism just means that all religions can coexist, not that there are 'equally valid religions'.
Sure, that's one way you could define the term. However, it is erroneous to claim that there is only one definition for "religious pluralism." This is also not the way the philosophers noted in this video use the term.
What about bridging the divide between Pluralism and Exclusivity? Such as the Bahai doctrine of Progressive Revelation... accepting the idea that two things can be true at the same time, depending on perspective and context. A world religion can only exist if it is never imposed on others. Multiple views are valuable as a part of a heterogeneous mix working together. Monotheism in the Bahai world view is preferred, but the ultimate reality of God / the Divine is ultimately a mystery. On exclusivity ... well, Moses embraced Abraham, Jesus embraced Moses, likewise Muhammed embraced Jesus ... basically. The later recognizes the former. From the core of the NT Jesus stated that the Golden Rule is the entire Law... that all the rest was commentary. Ergo, where versions of the Golden Rule exists various differences are basically commentary, no? Comparative religious studies... 👍👍👍
In no way disparaging the value of these different commentaries of course....
John 14:6 "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.'".
Yes. These words are not being disputed. What IS being disputed are VARIOUS interpretation of this quote. I recommend watching A Christian Podcast on you tube with interviewer Kevin. 👍
